Bedford to Display ReadySeries Modular FRP Safety Structures at ASSP Conference & Expo

Bedford Reinforced Plastics will showcase its ReadySeries lineup in booth 1930 at the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) Conference & Expo August 7 – 9, 2024, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. Bedford is a full-service supplier of an extensive line of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) products and services.

Bedford will reveal the newest updates to the ReadyPlatform, a key component of the interchangeable ReadySeries lineup. ReadyPlatform has been updated with enhanced features including greater ease of installation, more configurations and a refined aesthetic. ReadyPlatform is also outfitted for ReadyShield UV-resistant coating that protects the modular component from harsh weather, extreme heat and humidity while maintaining its surface appearance and structural integrity.
 
Bedford has a fully stocked inventory of ReadyPlatform, available for immediate shipping, in response to product demand.

The ReadySeries lineup is the broadest FRP modular solution to meet access and safety structure needs. ReadySeries includes industrial platforms, mezzanines, walkways, catwalks, fixed ladders, handrails, guardrails, stairs, stair towers, pedestrian bridges and more for nearly limitless configurations. Each easy-to-install modular product can be used independently or combined with other products in the series.

ReadySeries FRP is fire-retardant, corrosion-resistant and non-conductive. Anti-slip coatings minimize slip and fall risks, while Bedford's proprietary ReadyShield UV coating protects against ultraviolet (UV) light exposure, harsh weather, extreme heat and humidity without changes to the structural integrity or surface appearance. An ideal solution for meeting industrial safety needs quickly and affordably, ReadySeries structures are OSHA-compliant. Safety yellow coloring is available in all ReadySeries structures.

“ReadySeries modular products can help enhance workplace safety while increasing productivity and efficiency,” said Eric Kidd, marketing director for Bedford Reinforced Plastics. “Our ReadySeries products create affordable, customized solutions by offering multiple configurations that are ready to ship and designed for easy installation.”

ReadySeries products include:

  • ReadyPlatform solutions are ideal for industrial access platforms, walkways, mezzanines and catwalk applications that don’t require a custom build. ReadyPlatform materials are available in 3'x3', 3'x6' and 3'x9' increments and heights of 1'-6", 2'-3", 3'-0", 3'-9", 4'-6", 5'-3" and 6'-0". Customers can also add ReadyStair, ReadyLadder or ReadyRail components to achieve their ideal configuration.
  • ReadyLadder solutions let customers quickly combine sections available in 10' and 15' increments for the desired ladder height. If needed, customers can quickly trim one section with ordinary tools for an exact fit or add a walk-through for a complete system.
  • ReadyRail guardrail and handrail materials are perfect for both new structures and repairs. They are stocked in 3', 8', 15' and 20' sections, and you can also specify the length of your railing run and Bedford will package all components into a handy kit. Materials can be used on their own or to complement ReadyPlatform products for a complete safety solution. 
  • ReadyStair stair towers adapt easily to almost any configuration. They fit in a 7'-6" by 12' nominal footprint, rising in 6' increments between landings. When needed, a short stretch of up or down stairs is provided for the final transition at the top. ReadyStair sections are also used in conjunction with ReadyPlatform materials to meet any configuration needed.
